Hey guys
Before I start digging in I wanted to know if any of you V12 experts out there know where the return hose for the ABC is I need to disconnect to do a Pentocin flush and filter on my 2007 S65.
I have flushed an ABC before on my 2003 S55 after I did a pump change but that system is much different looking.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its on the underside of the resevoir.
I used the AGA flushing tool to make it easier, but its possible to do without.
You must rodeo the car to warm up the fluid and get all the bits into suspension, then use pitching motion whilst flushing to get the fluid out of the system effectively.
If you raise/lower using the button you will have to use 4/5 times as much fluid to get all the old stuff out, and the old stuff will remain in the struts.

Wow that is way more complicated than the W220! I may just get that oil suction tool and keep changing it that way at least for now.
Since I have your attention, any advice on the front brakes? I started today and couldn't really figure out how to pull the calipers. I loosened 4 bolts and it was lose but seemed stuck. Do I need to pull the pads first? I also purchased EBC Redstuff pads # DP31486C the internet claims they are the correct set but they do not look the same as what is there now for sure.
Thank You
Johan
Its not ideal.
They are sliding calipers. Remove the 2 bolts holding the caliper to the frame and then remove backwards after pressing the pads back in.
I have EBC yellowstuff, was not aware that they made red stuffs for the W221 AMG brakes.
DP31486C are wrong, they are for the W220
DP41941R are the only ones available from EBC for the W221 ATE brakes. I have them and they are great.

Well you are correct sir, the pads I bought last year are for the W220. Luckily my dad has a S55 and I believe the will fit.Originally Posted by alexanderfoti

So I did some searching and I found a place that sold EBC Redstuff pads for the W221 S65 AMG. I got them today and they look correct but will not know for sure until
I dig in again! I got them from discountbrakes.com part number DP31941C.
Thanks for your help again.

Excellent find, when I wear out my yellow stuff's I will give them a go.
You should tell EBC UK, as they said they where unavailable when I enquired.
